The mystery of life and love
Have been with us forever.
What makes a young girl fall in love with me?
What makes clouds disappear without a raindrop fallin?
How can the artist paint the wind?
How can mothers leave their kids and walk away without them?
And how do heartaches ever heal again?

Chorus:
What lies ahead for us in life
Will I have kids and a loving wife?
Will I get the chance to grow old?
Only God In Heaven Knows.

The mystery of life and love
Will live with us forever.
Why do kids and babies have to die?
Why are straight A's easy to earn,
While some kids always struggle to learn?
And why do grown men fight the urge to cry?

Chorus:
What lies ahead for us in life
Will I have kids and a loving wife?
Will I get the chance to grow old?
Only God In Heaven Knows.

Chorus:
What lies ahead for us in life
Will I have kids and a loving wife?
Will I get the chance to grow old?
Only God In Heaven Knows.
Only God In Heaven Knows.

Bridge:
Why do heroes lives end with amazing grace,
And the red, white, and blue draped on top of their graves?

Only God In Heaven Knows.
Only God In Heaven Knows.
Only God In Heaven Knows.
